Drop date f-orurm held

By Bob Wasserman The Undergraduate Association Forum on Drop date produced a good deal of discussion on the CAP proposal Tuesday. Most of the discussion, however, tended to be a debate between students and faculty. UA President Peter Berke '78 chaired the meeting, and began the discussion with a brief introduction to the drop date issue. He then proceeded to write the names of the student members of the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP) and the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) on the blackboard of Room 10250, and urged students to contact them about their views. Professor Robert Hulsizer, Chairman of the Faculty, was then introduced. and he gave a short explanation of when the days missed due to the snow would be made up. Soon after, the floor was opened for discussion and the question of why students are not allowed to be included in the Institute decision, making process was asked. Hulsizer responded that the rules and regulations were written by the MIT Corporation and not by the faculty itself. After several searching questions on the subject, Berke immediately appointed the questioner chairman of the new UA Ad-Hoc conmittee on Students in Policy-making. The meeting then proceededwith discussion on the proposal for a fifth-week drop date with one drop allowed thereafter until the eleventh week of the term. Professor Robert Rathbone, a member of the CAP, discussed how the CAP had come to their decision for the new proposal. Professor David Rose, a member of both the CAP and CEP, said that the new proposal was necessary due -to the "almost one hundred students in academic difficulty due to drop diflficulties." Students then began to counter faculty members' remarks by citing the SCEP poll, highly unfavorable to a fifth week drop date. Students also stressed that the academic freedom of almost

No birthday parties for Abe and George.

fourth Monday of February. While other colonial youngsters were quite adept at fibbing to their parents to insure their innocence, little Georgie had to admit to his ineptitude: "I cannot tell a lie." After getting tired of surveying, young George decided on a military career. First, as a colonel in a Virginian regiment, he proceeded to get his charges and himself nearly scalped by indians in thp French and Indian War. Deciding he'd rather fight the British, he
agreed to command the Revolutionary Army.
Everything was going fine until one fall while George was trying to recruit 1lll i. some Pennsylvania Dutch (how could S n M ~he have known that they spoke German?). Winter set in quickly and his z soldiers were stuck in Valley Forge. The troops badly needed shoes and

After winning the war, George took a breather back home in Virginia, but soon he was called upon to serve his country. George said reasonably: "I'm no waiter," and became the first President. George took the title Mr. President, presumably because there already was a King George, but more likely because he could see what a mess this country would be in the future if Richard Nixon was a kinea. George's terms in office were busy ones, as he occupied himself by roaming around the country naming cities and states after himself and An Open Letter to the MIT Community: procuring his portrait on the one dollar bill.

Nevertheless, both armies were con- as another spectacular of the vinced that they had to run around and destroy half the U.S. in order to win the war.

Dramashop's Volpone - humor wvith morals
By Leigh J. Passman Yolponrae: Or, the fox, which will be presented by the MIT Dramashop this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February 17, 18, and 19, opened this past Wedensday with a lucid and enjoyable production-of Ben Jonson's Elizabethan comedy. Jonson's play, a fore-runner of Elizabethan realistic satire, centers around Volpone (Andrew Piecka 72), a rich Venetian, and his knavish cohort Mosca (Albert Ruesga '80), who greedily extract lavish gifts from townspeople who shower him with them, in hope of being named pies. The avarice of the principle characters is so great that they are willing to sacrifice their families for a wealth they only think they will realize. Thedramasho p production follows Jonson's script quite closely and his realistic and potent moraf tone is preserved. The production, which lasted slightly over three hours, including two intermissions, experienced several minor technical problems, but these should be worked out. The sets, designed by William Fregosi, were attractive, effective, and functional. However, the design, which yielded these

TERBDYNE -AN IN DUSTRY LEADER
Teradyne, Inc.,-with 1400 employees-and annual sales of about $60 million, is the world's largest company speciaiizing in the design and manufacture of automatic test equipment for the electronics industry and the many other industries now using electronic devices. We are an international company, with sales, service,. and applications centers located throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Headquarters and main plant are in Boston, Massachusetts, and-we also design and manufacture test equipment in the Los Angeles and Chicago areas.

THE TERADYNE CHALLENGE

Before our customers can start mass-producing their newly designed, state-of-theart memory, LSI, and linear devices, or their complex analog and dig-tal-printedcircuit boards, they have to be prepared to test them in high volume. That's where Teradyne~ comes in. The challenge is in--being able to foresee testing needs far in advance, then design and produce test systems that can meet those needs under the most stringent demands of- the production environment.- That requires foresight, imagination, and especially top-notch engineering.
